Saturday Sketch: Inspiration

Today I share with you a card that is based on 

Mojo Monday sketch 297 and 

Tim Holtz June tag.

I love the watercolor look on

Tim Hotz tag made with

the distress markers.

So if you want to know

how the technique with these

markers is done you must take a 

look on Tim Holtz's Blog

where everything is explained

with lots of pictures.

Here is my card

with Michael Strong stamps.

I used the house stamp

and the mini dog.

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

First i stamped the house with archival black

on watercolor paper and colored it

in the Tim Holtz technique with the

use of distress markers.

I made the background with manila tag paper.

Used the direct to paper technique.

I put some picket fence distress ink and 

taenished brass distress paint on my craft

sheet with a little water.

When it was dry (with the heat gun) I stamped

the house on it with archival black.

The dock is also colored in the watercolor technique

and the sentiment is stamped with versamark

 and embossed with white embossing powder.

Here the inside of the card with the

use of the house stamp

again as a background stamp.

This sentiment is from Darkroom Door.

Have a creative day!
